I gave Music of Bleak Origin a first listen tonight. The fact that I did so while riding the bus through a crumbling, warzone-looking neighborhood, then hiking up a huge-ass hill in an old industrial area with police lights flashing around me really enhanced the experience, but even without all that this is a really good album. As you said, Stu, it's a little hard to characterize, but what a great winter album! I'm so glad I got just as the weather's about to get really cold.
